1. Date of request. Fill in date you are submitting your request to LILRC.

2. Your request #. Libraries submitting many interlibrary loan requests often number the requests consecutively each month. Thus, "10-59" would indicate the fifty-ninth request Library X submitted to LILRC during October. Libraries making fewer requests may number consecutively through the year or may choose to omit a number.

3. Dewey No. Supply three-digit Dewey number wherever known. This is necessary for requests submitted to NYSILL so they can be referred to appropriate subject referral libraries. Verification will often give Dewey number, usually supplied with LC cataloging in NUC and NST.

4. Requesting library. Name of institution submitting request. Since delivery is through the LILRC driver, full mailing address is not needed.

5. User. Name of library user for whom request is being made. Some libraries file pending requests by name of user. Also helpful in identifying request if there is a question while it is being processed.

6. Status. Needed for determining eligibility of request for referral to NYSILL. Indicate student, faculty, professional, industry, or other.

7. Author. Give full name of author of monograph. Give last name, followed by first name(s). Give full name wherever possible, not initials. If more than one author, give full names of two authors, and write "and others" if there are more. If author is a corporate body, give name as fully and accurately as possible.

8. Title. Give full title of book. If title is excessively long, it may be shortened after giving first several words exactly and filling space allotted with remaining key words.

9. Place. City of publication.   }

12. Verification. Please supply verification of all information given, particularly main entry. Preferred source is National Union Catalog, followed by CBI. Books in Print is not an adequate verification since information there is often inaccurate or incomplete. Give full reference to volume, series, date, page of verification. If request could not be verified, indicate sources checked, as in: NUC 1968-72-0; CBI 1971-0.

If it is not possible to verify the author and title, indicate sources of reference such as bibliography in a monograph, review article, etc. Where did the requestor see this item in print? Supply author, title, publisher and date or journal title and date, and page number on which citation is found. If it is more convenient you may supply a photocopy of the cited reference.

If impossible to verify or supply a source of reference, indicate "zz."
